I don't think I'm giving anything big away here (not even sure how extensively they go into this fact, in the actual movie), but the Clone Wars and the massive "Jedicide" that occurs, puts the galaxy into a "Dark Ages" type period... causing technology to take a major hit. From there, the Empire sees to it that the "common-folk" will never rise above their station in life, by making sure they only have rudimentary ships and weapons.
So, in episodes 4-6, the characters are basically scratching and clawing their way out of those Dark Ages, having to rely on what little they have left.
